Colorado River at Granite Rapids, Arizona, 2005
Photograph by Michael Nichols
A time-lapse image blurs the silty, mocha-colored waters of the Colorado River as it flows through sheer cliffs in Grand Canyon National Park. The now tame Colorado carved these steep walls over the last six million years, exposing rock strata that detail nearly two billion years of North America's geologic history.
Wrote one canyon trekker: "[T]hat I could reach down and touch a part of the Earth that existed when life itself was a mere billion-plus years old made this big cliff land seem very holy indeed."

Quote: | Colorado River at Granite Rapids, Arizona, 2005
科罗拉多河滚滚而过大峡谷国家公园的峭壁悬崖,这张加时曝光的照片模糊了摩卡色的泥浊河水。而今已被驯服的科罗拉多在过去的六百万年间在崖壁上留下了刻画,揭露了过去两亿年间留在岩层中北美地质历史的详细资料。
一个峡谷徒步者所说,在那里我能够构及,触摸到亿万年前生命起源时候就存在的一片土地,这使得大峡谷地显得异常神圣。 |

Grazing Sheep, Denmark, 1998
Photograph by Bob Krist
Puffy clouds and grazing sheep make a postcard-perfect scene in Denmark's Jutland Peninsula. A craggy projection of northern Europe, the Jutland Peninsula is an 11,496-square-mile (29,775-square-kilometer) spread of land that makes up continental Denmark. The generally low-lying, flood-prone peninsula was named after a Germanic tribe, the Jutes.

Quote: | Grazing Sheep, Denmark, 1998
丹麦日德兰半岛上游动的白云和放牧的羊群组成一道完美的明信片式的风景。日德兰半岛从北欧蜿蜒的延展出去,其11,496平方英里(29,775平方公里)的开阔土地构成了丹麦的大陆部分。半岛地势较低,洪水多发,得名于朱特族这一日耳曼部落。

Girl Jumping into Water, Puerto Rico, 2003
Photograph by Amy Toensing
A girl free-falls into a river in Puerto Rico's Caribbean National Forest. The area, also
called El Yunque, is just an hour's drive from the capital, San Juan, and is the only
tropical rain forest in the U.S. Forest Service system. It was first set aside as a
reserve by the king of Spain in 1876.

Sand Dunes, The Dalles, Oregon, 2001
Photograph by Jim Richardson
In a curious juncture, a wrinkled span of desert dunes pours into the Columbia River Gorge in The Dalles, Oregon. Eons of erosion by the mighty Columbia River carved this dramatic 80-mile-long (130-kilometer-long) gorge into the Cascade Range. Declared the nation's first National Scenic Area in 1986, the area is known for its 4,000-foot (1,220-meter) canyon walls, lush rain forest, and dozens of waterfalls.

The Aquadettes Synchronized Swim Team, California, 1996
Photograph by Karen Kasmauski
Members of the Aquadettes, a synchronized swimming team at Leisure World Retirement Community in Laguna Hills, California, practice their formations. Activities like line dancing, lawn bowling, and computer classes make such retirement communities increasingly popular among people with decades of free time to fill. "Anyone who's bored here is a stick in the mud," says Aquadette Barbara Hack.

Newborn Calf, Ontario, Canada, 1977
Photograph by Sam Abell
A cow cares for her newborn calf on a Mennonite farm in Elora, Ontario, Canada. Settled by Scottish immigrants in the early 1800s, Elora became an important agricultural town. The tiny village on the banks of the Grand River is now a haven for artists and a destination for tourists seeking the town's tranquility and spectacular vistas.

On Board the Observer, Alaska, 1998
Photograph by Michael Melford
Observer, a wooden-hulled, World War II-era minesweeper that has been converted to a 12-passenger cruising yacht, glides through glassy water in Alaska's Inside Passage. This meticulously restored boat takes tourists through the heart of Tongass National Forest, 500 miles (800 kilometers) of sky-blue glaciers, grizzly bear tracks, wild beaches, bald eagles, spruce trees, and deep, mountain-ringed fjords.

Historic Alfama District, Lisbon, Portugal, 2002
Photograph by Tino Soriano
Lisbon's Alfama District rises dramatically to the base of the imposing Saint George's Castle. The castle began as a Visigoth fortification in the sixth century and was taken over in turns by the Romans and the Moors. It was eventually captured by Portugal's first king and became the royal palace. Tourists flock to the castle's towers and ramparts, which offer unsurpassed views of the city below.

Ostrich Farm, Utah, 1999
Photograph by Len Jenshel
A flock of ostriches greets a photographer at a farm near Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument in Utah. Ostriches have been raised as livestock in the United States for over a century, particularly in the West, where the climate mimics that of their native African savanna. But these quirky birds require some special accommodations, like extra-tall fences—they can leap more than six feet (two meters) in the air.

Monte Carlo Casino and Mercedes, Monaco, 1995
Photograph by Jodi Cobb
The shiny finish of a black Mercedes car reflects Monaco's famous Monte Carlo Casino. A tiny Mediterranean principality with an outsize reputation, Monaco draws millions of tourists every year to its luxury amenities, including beachfront hotels, a yacht harbor, the Opera House, and casinos. Not surprisingly tourism and gambling are at the core of Monaco's economy.
